6 Communication

The RMC uses port number 7171 hex (29,041 in decimal) for the Procedure Exist protocol.
A sample program for the Q-Series Procedure Exist method is available on the downloads page

of Delta's website at http://www.deltamotion.com/dloads. This should be used as a starting

point for any Mitsubishi Q-series program using the QJ71E71-100 Ethernet module and an

RMC.
Note:

The RMC can also communicate with the Mitsubishi Q-series PLC via the QJ71MT91 Ethernet

Modbus/TCP module. Modbus/TCP is a complete protocol and therefore using the QJ71MT91

requires less programming than using the QJ71E71-100. Consequently, the QJ71MT91 may be

slightly easier to use with the RMC. The disadvantage is that the QJ71MT91 it is not as widely

used as the QJ71E71-100. A sample program for using the QJ71MT91 is available on the

downloads page of Delta's website.

Configuring the Q-Series

Mitsubishi’s ”Q Corresponding Ethernet Interface Module User's Manual (Basic)” (manual

part number SH (NA)-080009-I, search for 080009 on www.meau.com on the

Downloads>>Manuals section) describes how to set up QJ71E71-100. It is very detailed,

but is very large and may seem difficult. The sections below describe the settings

necessary to use the QJ71E71-100 to communicate with the RMC.
The instructions below are from GX Developer version 8.25B.
1. I/O Assignment Settings
First, set the I/O settings. This is described in section 4.5.1 of the Q Corresponding

Ethernet Interface Module User's Manual (Basic). Notice that there are no Switch settings

to set for this module.
2. Network Parameter Settings
This is described in section 4.6 of the Q Corresponding Ethernet Interface Module User's

Manual (Basic).
In the Project Data List, double-click Network Param, then click MELSEC/Ethernet.

For each QJ71E71-100 module, set the following parameters:
